40 years of excellence
Marking its 40th anniversary of women's athletics on the University Park
campus, the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics Department has unveiled the

the University. The celebration will culminate with a weekend of festivities

marking an anniversary for a department that is tied to such a rich tradition of
success and such a bright future to come," said Tim Curley, director of athlet
ics. "We hope that this will be an event that brings our former women
letterwinners back to campus to celebrate both their contributions to Penn
